Q: Are green bell peppers OK for gastroesophageal reflux diet?
Just wondering. I know I can’t have onions. I don’t know if green bell peppers are the same way (they’re not hot at all)

A: Firstly onions have nothing to do with reflux. I would unlearn yourself of everything that Dr’s have told you on this matter. Your reflux issues are plain and simple bad eating, junk food, processed food, frozen food etc over the years. It’s your bodies warning that you have been mistreating your body. I was diagnosed with GERD years ago and Dr’s told me my stomach sphincter wasn’t working. I was literally popping acid reducers like Prilosec and others for years nothing worked. If i ate a salad i got reflux. I then thought there has to be something i can do so i don’t have to pop these friggin pills every day.

I went on a long research quest about nutrition and processed foods with additives, preservatives, junk food, and all the chemicals they put in foods these days etc etc. You name it i studied it.

I started dropping things from my diet. No pop, no chocolate, i switched my tea to decaf, i quit eating frozen food, i quit eating anything out of a tin, because tinned foods are mainly laced with high sodium, either way there processed and have chemicals in them. I only brought my veg at a local market fresh. After 6 months of this, i was pill free. I have not popped a reflux pill in over 4-5 years now.

I highly suggest you do your research. Also don’t expect any quick fix. It took years of bad eating to get your digestive problems so it won’t heal over night. The pills will help temporarily, but i would not recommend staying on pills for long periods of time.

Some quick things to drop to ease your relux would be, quit caffeine, so no pop, no chocolate, no coffeee or tea. Even decaf has a small amount of caffeine. No alcahol. Nothing spicy. I really don’t class onions as spicy, but if it makes you feel better then quit it temporarily at least until you feel better. Once your better i would go back to them, onions are a great vegetable.

Some people will obviously give me a thumbs down, but take it from someone that has been there. I don’t believe half of what Dr’s tell you.
Since Dr’s quit educating people on nutrition and became advertisers for the phamaceutical companies, they lost my respect.

Good Luck in your quest. Feel free to message me if you need any links for your research, i have a lot of stuff still bookmarked in my favorites. i also have lots of books i could recommend.

Bell peppers are fine by the way. Stick to the red, green and yellow. Stay away from the spicy ones for now.

Q: What foods should a person with Heartburn and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) avoid in their diet?

A: i have that problem b4. need to quit smoking if u do, for the nicotine acidic effect or something. that got me to quit smoking too. curry, oily and hot & spicy foods should be avoided, for some time at least. avoid caffein in tea and coffee as well, and carbonated drinks with gas!!.. drink a lot of water. but do get pro advice on your situation if u r having the symptoms
…”Spicy foods do not cause GERD, although they do seem to worsen GERD symptoms in some people. Food (in general) can make GERD worse. This is because food fills the stomach and induces more transient relaxations of the lower esophageal sphincter. In addition, all meals stimulate acid production in the stomach to aid digestion and can increase reflux into the esophagus in GERD sufferers. Any very large meal might be expected to produce heartburn in some people. The spicy food story is so compelling, however, that GERD sufferers often relate a spicy (or greasy) meal to their symptoms. Often they are told to avoid certain foods whether or not these foods have anything to do with their symptoms. In this way, many GERD sufferers end up on a very restricted diet or end up blaming their symptoms on dietary indiscretion. If avoiding spicy foods and/or other dietary advice helps, that’s great. If it doesn’t, GERD sufferers shouldn’t feel that they are doing something wrong. They should seek medical advice on managing their disease.
Smoking doesn’t cause GERD and there is little evidence that smoking significantly worsens GERD. Stopping smoking is a good idea anyway..” unquote

Q: What kinda diet i have to maintain for “Esophagus Reflux” or “GERD”?
lately, i learnt that im suffering from Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), what diet i have to follow?

A: The diet is not the issue. GERD is caused by a weak sphincter muscle where food goes into the stomach. The acid can cause changes in the esophagus that may lead to cancer, so you should try to get a handle on it.

Avoid eating before lying down or going to bed. If you eat food with high acid content (tomatoes or tomato sauce, for example, or lemons or lemonade), it will make the acid damage worse, but not by a lot.

Drinking soda (anything that fizzes when you open it, even beer) will make the GERD worse, so aim for water or flavored water or Crystal Light or similar preparations, especially before lying down.

Raise the head of your mattress (put a pillow under the top end underneath the mattress or buy or make a wedge to put there) so the acid will not get up too far.

Take something like Pepcid Complete or Prilosec OTC, but understand that they diminish the acid output of cells in the stomach. which will grow more cells to make up the difference, so if you stop, the acid problem will be worse. It’s better to take the Pepcid Complete only when you need it, rather than regularly.

If you have not had an examination of your esophagus for possible precancerous conditions, you should have one as soon as possible.

Q: What is gastroesophageal reflux & how is it treated?
It has to do with heartburn due to acid build up.
Have been percribed Omerazole(o-mep-ra-zole)
Should I be eating a bland diet??

A: They will probably make you drink some vile, chalky stuff, then do a test to see how much comes back up and how far up. Then you doctor can prescribe medication and dietary changes My son had this when he was an infant, and they had to put him on liquid Zantac and Regulan until he was 18 months old.

Q: I have a “female” question about Premenstrual syndrome and Acid Reflux?
I am 19 and I was diagnosed about three years ago for having Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and I have a weird menstrual cycle that I’m controlling with birth control and the doctor’s help of course. I live with GERD on a daily basis, I fix my diet around how I feel and sometimes I just get too sick to eat.

My question is, could premenstrual syndrome make gastroesophageal reflux disease worsen for a few weeks before the menstrual cycle starts?

I will even take answers from males that have had wives, sisters, girlfriends, or friends or some kind of knowledge of both. I’m not picky. I just want some kind of idea about what’s going on with my body.

A: I have acid reflux also, and mine always peaks and gets way worse before and during my period.

Q: GERD diet recommendations?
I have GERD (gastroesophageal reflux) that is making me miserable. I take Prilosec but it’s no longer working well. Are there diets that can make a person less acidic?

A: Not really sure what you are eating, but cutting or avoiding on oil, dairy, white bread, citrus, caffeine… is a start. You can use Gaviscone extra strength (Usually COSTCO has it) when you feel you need them, and just before you go to sleep – a friend of my uses it, and it’s the only thing that works for her. You can also eat some soda cracker (Saltine – less salt) – baking soda helps, which you can get from soda cracker – when you start feeling hungry or acidic. You might want to try Prevacid instead of Prilosec. Sometimes, other medicine works better. Good luck, I hope you feel better.

Q: Is there a once for all ‘one size fits all medical solution’? surgery? tabs? syrups? diet restriction?
Is there any relation between bad odour of the mouth and the problem herein below?
Is there any relation between bad odour of the mouth and the problem herein below?
A friend of mine has a bad mouth odour. A very disgusting one. Very disturbing. Is there any relation between bad odour of the mouth and ulcers (sores in the lining of the stomach or small intestine), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition in which backward flow of acid from the stomach causes heartburn and injury of the esophagus (tube that connects the mouth and stomach), and erosive esophagitis (swelling and wearing away of the lining of the esophagus)??? Please explain at length if u know about the problem? what is the solution? is it curable or is it controllable? if curable, how? if controllable, how? does it really have a once and for all one size fits all solution? is it a life long problem like diabetes, hypertension etc? i wish as many people as possible comment, participate on this discussion. feel free to comment in any manner u think is right and appropriate. here we are! GO AHEAD!

A: For oral health (actually it’s a bit of a cure all). I advocate MMS.

Info:

http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=jim+humble&emb=0&aq=f#q=jim+humble&emb=0&aq=f&qvid=jim+humble&vid=948284113233997302

Purchase it: (there are MANY sources that make MMS, but this is my choice)

http://mms-lab.com/shop/

Protocol as a mouthwash:
2 drops of MMS, with 2 drops of citric acid. Make sure the drops mix, and let sit for about 30 seconds. Mix with about half a cup of luke warm water. Rinse the mouth with it for about one minute. You wont experience any plaque build up for about 24 hours. Way more affective than mouthwash and tooth paste.

Though I don’t know how affective it will be if the source of the smell is come from down the throat.

Acid Reflux and ulcers.

http://www.mandarinconsulting.com/acid-reflux-causes-remedies.htm

I also know that eating bananas are extremely good for ulcers.

Further search reveals that bananas can be good for acid reflux specifically, but I’m reading arguments from both side of the fence. It appears to ease some GERD sufferers yet agitate others.

I recommend fasting.

Fasting over night without dinner.

Prolonged Juice Fasting.

http://juicefasting.org

and Water Fasting.

Juice fasting is the best way to start out since you’ll burn less callories and therefore eliminate toxins at a slower rate, therebye avoiding a herx reaction.

Therefore this gives the digestive system time to heal.

I don’t know how your friend would react drinking home made juice though.

Your friend can also try water fasting. But it’s best to fast one day at a time, maybe 1 or 2 days a week about 6 or 7 times before attempting a prolonged 5-7 day fast in order to avoid a herx (healing reaction from toxin purging.)

Personally, I love fasting and I do it for the health benefits alone. The first 2 or 3 days can be tough, but as you enter the 2nd stage of the fast, you will feel AMAZING and the best you have ever felt since you were a kid, and I swear my life on that statement, so try it lol.

—

I forgot, your friend also needs Vitamin C. On average EVERYONE needs atleast 1 gram a day, but in your friends case i would say atleast 2 grams.

Vitamin C is extremely important for the body.

Read this:

http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-your-body-uses-vitamin-c.html

Vitamin C is essential for some proteins in the body, such as the creation of collagen fibers, the 100% Daily recommended value (DRV) is not sufficient for a healthy body, and over time leads to chronic scurvey (heart disease, cardiovascular disease and plaque build up).

Your friend may also benefit from L-Lysine which is an essential amino acid.

Q: who are tehse cyber police i have been reported to?
HERES THE SITUATION

this question was posted:

I DID NOT ADDRESS HER IN AN ABUSIVE MANNER AT ALL–i have told people off who have attcked me first…I have always politely relayed my knowledge of fibro—from my extensive research into traditional and alternative methods…

so heres teh quetsion–who are these cyber police she refers to? i woudl like them to contact me

What is the best Medicine for Fibromyalgia?
Which is the best medicine for Fibromyalgia besides Lyrica I cannot take any NSAID’S Like Motrin or Naproxen because of GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease?

There were 2 repsonses:

the first from AL (not her real name)

Omega 3 Oils and Magnesium.

Get it from your diet as well.

Stop eating processed foods.

Stop eating fried foods.

Stop eating wheat.

Find an alternative source for calcium – stop consuming dairy products.

MY RESPONSE:

there is no best medicien–it is differnt fr every one

NSAIDS don’t work as tehri is no inflammtion

the otehr 2 approved meds are CYMBALTA and SAVELLA whicha re SNRIs–also other neds that regulate teh neuro transmitters

you cna try alternatives to LYRICA–other anti seizure meds–not helped me…

rela fms is a neuro condition–any treatment–even alternative neneds to focus of regulating teh neuro suystem

be carefula bout what people say cured tehm–fms is highly over diagnosed by incompetant docs–many are stiulll saying ther is inflammtion—people taht have been cured never had real fms

NOTICE TEHRE ARE ONLY 2 RESPONSES
each 1 has ONE thumbsdown

THIS IS THE SCATHING EMAIL I GET FROM AL (she does not allow email from me)

From: AL

Subject: You need to get a medical background job…

Message: …so that you can get registered to receive real medical information both in lectures and snail mail and on the Internet by paying for it.

One medical researcher doing “research” on YOU does not constitute peer reviewed medical knowledge.

Read “The Inflammation Cure ” by toxicology and immunology professor William Joel Meggs.

“Fibromyalgia” involves inflammation unseen by the naked eye. It is in the brain.

Get yourself a reputable neurologist – a movement disorder one. Have a gentetic screening test done and start making yourself healthy with food instead of advising the misinformed to take more drugs with many side-effects. Stay out of the sun.

Any good medical doctor knows that there are foods that promote inflammation and foods that reduce inflammation. However unscrupulous ones enjoy using uninformed ones as guinea pigs to try out new medicines and bogus, not peer reviewed treatments.

Diet does work. I am living proof. I have a progressive neurological condition as well as a medical background.

Stop hacking into peoples accounts and using multiple YA accounts to annoy people. I have reported you to the appropriate police unit for cyber crime in the past. They know who you are.

**********************************************************************************

here are teh real faxcts: FIBROMyalgia is accepted to be a neurologicAL CONDITION With NO INFLAMMTION–this theory is uphelp by teh top researchers around teh world

It is true taht diet willhelp optimize teh body and make it stronger to deal with teh Fibromylagia–and possibly help reduce teh symptoms

but it will not control fibro like AL claims…

there are many conditions that mimic fibro–and at least one of tehm will be comtrol with diet alone

i ahve particiapted in legitimate researc=h with world renowned resaerchers taht are published and peer reviewd

and her sattement about tehr beign invisable inflammtion is how shoudl i say it—in appropriate

so i could refute everything she said–with ACCPETED RESEARCH

Q: Will curing G.E.R.D. have a very large impact on breathing problems?
I have been considering Nissen fundoplication surgery for my hiatal hernia, and would like to hear from people that have already had this done. I want to know, specifically, if this surgery improved any of the respitory conditions associated with GERD.

Also, will this place any restrictions on my pilot certificate?

Here is a crap load of background about me:

At one point I had done everything the doctor told me, including eliminating food from my diet that aggravates the condition, loosing weight until I was within the “healthy” parameters for my age/height/fitness, altered my sleep angle, and was on Nexium, Previcid, and Gaviscon. All of these actions helped the condition, but did not eliminate the symptoms. In fact, the symptoms were still so bad, that I gave up on the treatments.

I have been suffering from G.E.R.D. for my entire life, as I was born with a hiatus hernia. I also have hyperhydrochlorhydria, which aggravates the gastroesophageal reflux disease, as well as causing Gastritis and similar symptoms in the lower GI tract.

As well as the common symptoms of G.E.R.D., I have also been diagnosed with chronic bronchitis as a child, and then later diagnosed with asthma as an adult. (it is believed that G.E.R.D. can cause asthma)

The spasms in my stomach as well as the acid levels have been much higher lately due to some increased stress. These increases have led to Laryngopharyngeal reflux, which seems to be causing sleep apnea like symptoms.

Once I can aford health insurance, I’ll happily go through the same process where the physician and specialists tell me to change my diet, lose weight, take drugs, so on and so forth. Eventually, i will have exhausted all the non-surgical options, and I’ll probably opt for the surgery.
RE: Sandy

Acutally, yes, I do have discomfort in my ears, as well as (gag) a lot of wax!

I’ve actually had fifteen reoccuring ear infections, as well as some vertigo and swimmer’s ear. According to Wikipedia, this can be connected to the GERD and LPRD
I forgot to mention that I have the “lump” sensation associated with LPRD, as well as throat pain. I decided to add these details as others had commented that they have these symptoms. Although it is not relavent to my question, I feel these added details may help shed some light on their conditions.

Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastroesophageal_reflux_disease for GERD info, annd look for the links for LRPD and asthma

A: Well, from personal experience I can say that, yes, it did have a great impact on my ability to breathe. Mine only flares up once in a while, but when it does, it gives me asthma. I am not allergic to anything and the feeling of not being able to breathe correctly while having the chest pain from the gerd was scary, I thought I was having a heart problem!!! Once I take the neccessary steps to get the gerd under control with my meds, better diet, and sleeping posture… then I can breathe free & easy again. I don’t have the hiatal hernia, so I never needed the surgery. I wish you good luck!

edit/// To “Sandy”: Yeah, my gerd did that too. It caused pain in my esophagus & throat… sometimes the pain shot up into my ribs, neck, and ears too!!! The nerves in my esophagus are weird like that. Sometimes, also, the acid that would come up at night would make my throat hurt and sometimes give me a hoarse voice & sore throat, which would affect my ears too!

Q: One and a half year lab throwing up now for 2 days intermittently?
My lab BJ – had a slight change of diet two days back. In that I hired a new cook and the same bread was made by a different person. It might have been a little, just a wee bit, raw perhaps. He puked it the whole thing Monday evening with bile juices. Then the next day he puked his morning meal again. And some biscuits. I gave him some medicine (gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD/GERD) medicine) last night so he kept down his morning meal today. Again, this evening, he puked out the boiled rice. He is a bit lethargic though not completely tired. I am calling his vet today – but am a bit worried it could be poisoning? Any experiences? Anything I can do to make him feel better in the meantime?

A: First of all i would give your dog water. Try giving your dog a little bit at a time, like some food and then wait awhile and then more food.
Its just as if a human had a virus, give it time and keep the fluids up.
If this continues for more than 4 days i would take it straight to a vet.

Q: Since humans are just a form of animal, aren’t we being cannibalistic when we eat the meat of other animals?
HEALTH CONCERNS ABOUT MEAT
What’s the beef with meat? This question can be answered in two nutritional words: fat and cholesterol.

Too much fat. No matter how you slice it, meat is high in fat. Unlike milk, in which you can separate out part or all of the fat, you can never get rid of all the fat in meat, no matter how well you trim it. Even the lean parts are laced with fat. Extra lean select-grade beef contains around seven percent fat.

Wrong fat. Not only is there too much fat in meat, it’s the wrong kind. Nearly half the fat in meat is the artery-clogging, saturated type. And, of course, meat is also high in cholesterol. Beef fat is more saturated than poultry fat because the bacteria in the ruminant stomach of cattle hydrogenate, or saturate, the fats in the plants that cows eat. It’s like having a fat factory inside the food source.

Fat without fiber. Unlike meat, plant foods that are low in fat and high in fiber tend to pass through the intestines rapidly, causing less upset and fewer problems, such as gastroesophageal reflux. Meat has a double fault. It’s high in fat and contains no fiber, so it takes longer to empty from the stomach and pass through the intestines. While most people do not experience “indigestion” from meat, those who suffer from reflux should not eat much meat, as it may aggravate the problem.

Problems with protein. Not only are the fats in meat unhealthy, meat proteins have also recently come under fire. Recent evidence suggests that animal proteins increase blood cholesterol levels, while plant proteins, especially soy, decrease them. Meats contain high levels of the amino acid L-lysine, which increases insulin production, prompting the liver to release fat and cholesterol into the bloodstream. If L-lysine is experimentally added to animal diets, blood cholesterol levels increase by over fifty percent and the animals get plump. Studies show that substituting 30 grams of soy protein daily for a meat meal dramatically reduces cholesterol levels. So, the Japanese may have lower cholesterol levels than Americans, not only because they eat less meat, but also because they eat more soy. The quality of meat protein ranks below that of egg white, fish, and dairy products.

A: There lady. That is the definition of cannibalism. It is far from what you are thinking it is. Once again, what does this have to do with hunting?

Cannibalism (from Caníbalis, the Spanish name for the Carib people[1]), also called anthropophagy, is the act or practice of humans eating the flesh of other human beings.

The term “cannibalism” is also used in zoology to mean the act of any species consuming members of its own kind. The expression “cannibalization” is in addition used metaphorically outside of biological fields to refer to the reuse of parts or ideas or to situations such as when a company’s assets eat into its other assets. This article is about human cannibalism.

Cannibalism has recently been both practiced and fiercely condemned in several wars, especially in Liberia[2] and Congo.[3] Today, the Korowai are one of very few tribes still believed to eat human flesh.[4][5] It is also still known to be practiced as a ritual and in war in various Melanesian tribes.[6]

Cannibalism was widespread in the past among humans throughout the world, continuing into the 19th century in some isolated South Pacific cultures. Neanderthals are believed to have practiced cannibalism.[7][8] Among modern humans it has been practiced by various groups.[9] In the past, it has been practiced by humans in Europe,[10][11] South America,[12] India,[13] New Zealand,[14] North America,[15] Australia ,[16] the Solomon Islands,[17] parts of West Africa[5] and Central Africa,[5] some of the islands of Polynesia,[5] New Guinea,[18] Sumatra,[5] and Fiji,[19] usually in rituals connected to tribal warfare.[citation needed] Fiji was once known as the ‘Cannibal Isles’. Evidence of cannibalism has been found in the Chaco Canyon ruins of the Anasazi culture.[20]

The closely related practice of headhunting continued in Europe until the early 20th century in the Balkan Peninsula and to the end of the Middle Ages in Ireland and the Scottish Marches.[21]

Q: DNA has shown we and other animals are 90-97% identical, so is cannibalism eating the meat of similar species?
Can you say we are not of the same species, when there is only a 3% DNA difference between us and many of the other animals that we slaughter and eat? Ugh ! The meaning of cannibal is changing with our advancement and new knowledge.

HEALTH CONCERNS ABOUT MEAT
What’s the beef with meat? This question can be answered in two nutritional words: fat and cholesterol.

A: No…..Lady, if you don’t want to eat meat, then don’t. Just leave me and my steak alone.

Why are you in the R&S section ranting about meat?

Q: What is gastroesophageal reflux & how is it treated?
It has to do with heartburn due to acid build up.
Have been percribed Omerazole(o-mep-ra-zole)
Should I be eating a bland diet??

A: I take Nexium , as do you . It works wonders . Try to avoid citrus based products . Avoid Cola

A: I’m a veggie.
